Starting from the analysis of correlated percolation lattices, we develop a new predictive model for the permeability of porous media. The model proposed introduces a new characteristic length scale parameter related to the pore-pore correlation function of the digitalized image of the porous structure. The model predicts with good accuracy the permeability of complex pore structures such as correlated percolation lattices, deterministic fractals, fractal percolation lattices and correlated porous media in general.

Abstract
Starting from the analysis of correlated percolation lattices, we develop a new predictive model for the permeability of porous media. The model proposed introduces a new characteristic length scale parameter related to the pore-pore correlation function of the digitalized image of the porous structure. The model predicts with good accuracy the permeability of complex pore structures such as correlated percolation lattices, deterministic fractals, fractal percolation lattices and correlated porous media in general.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
